Original Abstract

Extreme floods which occurred in the Czech Republic in 1997 and 2002 evoked questions relating to the safety of dams built during the last century. Most of the dams have to be assessed mainly with respect to their safety and the capacity of their existing operational structures. The design of new facilities of dams, designs for reconstruction of the existing structures, and/or both are necessary to enable safe management of extreme water passage. This paper presents specific proposals of measures to enhance the safety of some Czech dams.
